Wye Pottery

The Wye Pottery was set up in 1956 by Adam (Adaš) Dworski, a Yugoslavian ex-lawyer, in Clyro, Radnorshire (now Powys) in Wales. Clyro is on the A438 road between Hereford and Brecon and the pottery was named for the 130 mile river Wye which passes nearby. He claimed that when he set up he was one of only four potters working in Wales.

Dworski was a self-taught potter who used majolica glazes with brushed decoration mainly on earthenware, but stoneware and porcelain were also used. He made figures, plaques and thrown pots.

Work was mainly sold to visitors to the the pottery, but was also retailed in the United Kingdom, Europe and the USA.

Mr Dworski exhibited both at home and abroad.
